Martin O'Mally for Governor

Well, the DeLay thing is big, but the big news here in Maryland is that Martin O'Malley, currently the mayor of Baltimore will be running for Governor. This announcement is in no way surprising, this has been expected for four years now, so startling it is not. However, with Robert Ehrlich the current Governor, and Republican, in a very blue state, this is good news. O'Malley is a very personable, very charismatic Democrat who stands a very good chance of recapturing the state house.
